The temple stands on a steep slope of a picturesque hill in the north of the village over the valley of the River Prut. There are several versions of the year of the church foundation, namely, 1615, 1654-1657, the 18th century. Presumably, the church was built in the early 17th century in the village of Yablunytsia and relocated to Vorokhta in 1780.
Despite more than two hundred years’ history of the church, its original composition has remained unchanged. The church is unique in that it was built without a single nail.
The church building, typically of the Hutsul school, has cross-in-square plan topped by a central dome. The four naves, attached to the spacious, towering and well-lit quadrangle, significantly fall behind in terms of height and have a rectangular elongated shape. The almost equal shoulders of the spatial cross are smaller in height than the central nave and end in gabled roofs with pediments and small domes with crosses over the eaves. Given the artistic techniques, impeccable proportions, nice location and raised stone foundation, the interior of the church, rather modest in size, impresses with its high-rise solemnity, especially comparing it with similar squat church buildings. The church canopy, mounted on ornate brackets, is similar to an umbrella and visually creates a harmonious transition from the ground to the vertical walls and the building itself. The sloped inside walls reapprove the historical antiquity of the church.
The 19th century wall paintings have been preserved in the interior. Liturgies were revived already with the advent of the Ukrainian independence due to the support of the UGCC Studite monks from the village of Dora.
The church is one of the brightest and most perfect examples of the wooden church architecture in the Hutsul region. In 1979, the church was restored, but despite the flow of time it remained wooden, which adds to its specialty against the background of other old churches with metal or onduline cladding.
Architectural monument of national importance.
